From a creative parent helping her daughter decorate her plain hearing aids to a growing creative social group, website, providing training and introduction events to the Etsy shop selling an ever growing range of Tubetastic Pimps, Sarah from Bedfordshire, England and her friends are helping inspire many people of all ages to be creative, confident and ‘pimp’ their hearing aids and Cochlear Implants! When asked how she feels about how it’s grown so much in the past year “I am amazed at how the “pimping” page has grown from a handful of young teens and parents just over 1 year ago to having nearly 1,200 members from all over the world. The huge response for the Tubetastic Pimps still amazes me everyday, I love searching for new ideas and the response from parents who have had children who have refused to wear their [hearing] aids to wearing them all the time is absolutely fantastic.”
